- Articles and reports: 11-010-X200701110382Geography: CanadaDescription:
Exports to China in 2007 have risen faster than imports, reflecting its voracious appetite for resources. This has helped reduce Canada's dependence on US markets.
Release date: 2007-11-08 - 2. Transportation in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X20060009515Description:
Our vast transportation system - roads, railways, airports, ports and vehicles - provides people and businesses with services that are fundamental to our standard of living and well-being.
At the same time, transportation is a concern to Canadians from an environmental perspective. From greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from burning fossil fuels to the fragmentation of wildlife habitat by transportation infrastructure, transportation activities impact the environment locally and globally.
This article examines transportation activity in Canada and its environmental impacts - and the efforts of governments, businesses and citizens to help mitigate them - by painting a statistical portrait of Transportation in Canada.
Release date: 2006-11-09 - Journals and periodicals: 54F0001XGeography: CanadaDescription:
Canada's major container ports have competed successfully against their U.S. counterparts for overseas container traffic. However, the ocean container shipping industry is undergoing changes that will impact on their relationships with ports and competition among ports for container traffic has been fierce. This paper explores how Canadian ports might fare in this increasingly competitive environment, based on their natural and man-made attributes, their competitive stance and their potential to meet the evolving ocean container industry.
The assessment includes a review of the ocean container shipping industry, the North American container market and competing ports in the United States (U.S.). This report uses data from two sources, Statistics Canada's marine international origin/destination (O/D) database and the U.S. Department of Transport Maritime Administration's (MARAD) Annual Import Export Waterborne Databank which is based on Journal of Commerce P.I.E.R.S. data.
The keys to the success of Canadian container ports have been a combination of natural endowments, investments in intermodal facilities and competitive pricing. These factors are likely to continue into the future, however, the competition among container ports is likely to intensify as industry consolidation continues and as publicly funded U.S. intermodal terminal and corridor projects come to fruition.
Release date: 2003-06-09 - Journals and periodicals: 54F0002XGeography: CanadaDescription:
This study identifies the flag-related trends of fleets used in Canada's international sea-borne trade relative to the world fleet during the 15-year period from 1985 to 1999. The goal is to determine if there is any indication that fleets that served Canada were any less safe in 1999 than in 1985.
This study uses fleet and ship-casualty statistics published by Lloyd's Register and data on vessel entrances and clearances from Statistics Canada's Marine International Origin-Destination Database to develop a flag-related risk index.
Release date: 2002-06-05 - 5. North American Transportation in Figures ArchivedTable: 50-501-XDescription:
North American transportation in figures provides a comprehensive set of comparable statistical indicators of the use, performance and impact of transportation in North America. It includes over 90 different data tables, supported by figures, maps and extensive technical documentation describing data categories and definitions relating to each country, that is, Canada, Mexico and the United States. The report covers a wide variety of transportation subjects across the three countries: including transportation and the economy; safety; merchandise trade; freight activity; passenger travel; infrastructure; and transportation energy and environment.
Release date: 2000-10-12 - 6. International travel to Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-403-X19970014745Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canada hosted over 45 million international visitors in 1997, the highest annual level in the 25 years that travel data have been collected.
Release date: 1999-11-24 - Table: 50-002-X19970033096Description:
Reapeating the success of the previous year, Canadians ports once again broke the tonnage record for international cargo handled in 1996. International cargo totaled 260.3 million tonnes, a slight increase of 2.2.% compared to the peak established in 1995. In 1996, the bulk of the growth in Canadian marine activity can be attributed to international unloading of goods.
